What if Jesus’ resurrection changes more than your afterlife?
The cross forgave you—but the resurrection gave you far more than a clean slate. In this message, Andrew unpacks why Jesus rising from the dead is the centerpiece of the gospel and the key to your new identity. You’re not just rescued from sin. You’re made alive, fused to Christ, and filled with His indestructible life right now. This sermon confronts lifeless religion, rule-based living, and the idea that Christianity is just moral improvement. It reveals the shocking truth: Christ is your life. Not someday. Not symbolically. Right now. If you want to understand what Jesus really finished, listen to this.
